Alan Freeman - Wants

21/4/2023

IMPORTANT

One of my aims in life is to try and hear everything that is supposed to be good! That is in the world of prog/experimental/weird music. I wonder if I'm getting there? This list regularly shrinks and grows, and is constantly changing. As always, I welcome suggestions. i.e. anything new that I should know? Before suggesting older stuff, check my collection & other lists on this site, as I may already know it! But, you never know, I'm still amazed by some things I missed!

Excepting any listed as "Original CD's wanted of these..." I'm not after actual releases unless cheap! There are very few things that I actually want/need for myself. Generally I'm researching, clutching at straws, looking for odd missing items needed for projects. As much of this stuff is liable to be of little or no interest to us, some is sure to be rubbish, a recording/copy is usually adequate. I'm usually just interested in hearing the items below, as a download or CDR copy, and/or we can barter/swap. I like to remaster LP transcriptions to achieve CD quality in my archive, so please do not offer me scratchy vinyl rips, nor ones that are low bandwidth or not transferred directly, and especially not ones with jumps or bits of tracks missing. EX+ vinyl or better please!

Are you looking for something? Searching in vain? Why not email me: utle2uk@btconnect.com with your wants list? I have a huge archive. We may be able to come to a swap arrangement! I can swap physical CDRs, or online via flac or mp3. Or you can buy.

[r#######] = Discogs reference (paste unbracketed into Discogs search bar)
items in bold green = new additions. other bits in red = specific tracks needed
items crossed out have been located (and only remain here for my future reference)
W = wants list on Discogs

 


French research: 1970/80s acts of possible interest and/or need to hear...

We are currently working on a French music book!

 

We are after complete recordings of these singles...

Aleph - Totem / Zone limite

Equinox - Alicia / Le Fou Du Royaume De Nacre

Horizon - Bouffon / La nuit tombe

Incidence - Spleen / L'idole

4Z - Fais la fête / Pennsylvanie

4Z - Laisse la plage aux vagues / Faits divers

Pyrithe - L'Escalier / Soleil Matin - Sudio d'Antibes recording, with Jean-Pierre Massiera involved

Reincarnation - Souvenir D'un Enfant / Souvenir D'un Enfant (Suite)

Valeriana - Sans Fin / Douce Mort - ex Introversion

 

Agartha -  Fini Pour Toi / Jacky Et Freddy, 7" private (1982) reputedly prog - 30secs at http://www.45toursderockfrancais.net/ rockfrancais/sons/agarthafini.mp3 - sounds like a funky Hackett with a bad drummer and punky female vocals, so not very promising!

Aiguade - CHANSONS DES TEMPS FIGÉS, LP Baccara International BI 001 732 (1976) prog-folk?

Amalgame - LES BILLARDS VERTS, LP private AMA 30 CM 1 (1979) Apparently more Memoriance or Ange vein

Ananke - Veprabilly/C'ui Qui L'dit Qui Y'est - almost unanimously listed as jazz-rock! Musea: Quatuor de Dijon, ANANKE produit un jazz-rock technique, virtuose et teinté d'humour. Le 45 tours "Veprabilly/C'ui Qui L'Dit Qui Y Est" (1982) peut évoquer les oeuvres de Frank ZAPPA ou ZAO, tout en empruntant à Albert MARCOEUR et ETRON FOU LELOUBLAN leur fantaisie et leur goût du pastiche. It also gets listed in the French punk discography!

Belle De Jour - Sustain Love / Etoiles De La Nuit, 7" (Village Music 81 101)

Giani Esposito - BOUDDHA - MÉDITATIONS, LP PES 301031 (1971) looks curious, with Serge Franklin

Germain Hubert Ales - same, MC private (1982) non-album material, Pudeur Et Ordure Douée de Raison, etc.

Germain Hubert Ales - LA DOULEUR, MC private (1982) non-album material                     

Alain Markusfeld - L'Epave / La Croix De Modez ‎(7", Single) Barclay 61.532 L 1972 need B Side complete - got first 2:10 off WFMU radio stream

Alain Markusfeld - Le Gluemour / Le Requin Central ‎(7", Single) Barclay 61.812 1973 need B Side

Metabolisme - Highway Over You / Tempus - 7" FLVM 4517 (1979) need non LP single A side - b-side on LP

Sanctus - Jane / Go To Hell, 7" Studio 35 BM 66 (1973) Go To Hell = nice heavy/brassy psych prog, need A Side

Patrice Moullet - NYCTALOPE, (Distribution Musidisc - 171 332) - or a recording W

Terrain Vague - POUR QU'IL TE RESTE UN PEU DE MOI (SRC 543 954) 1981 French folk, could be interesting?

Jean-Louis Vincent - RÉSONANCES, LP Barclay 90.032 (1975) may just be folk, but has some interesting musicians on it

 

Are any of the following bands/soloists worth hearing?...

Dynamo - jazz-rock tinged with humour 1979

Imbroglio - SAUF LA PANTOUFLE - free-jazz, ex Confluence - turn out to be very dull and unexciting

Jazz Virus Quartet - GROUPIE DE SANSONNET - what type of jazz?

Neophyt - Tout Seul Tous Les Deux/Le Noir - un rock mélodique dans la lignée de ICARE, bénéficiant d'une emphase vocale ...

Rackham-Le-Rouge (R 8201) Alain Gautier & others, seems to be pop

Roger La Honte - SAME, LP KI Records RLH 1112 (1983) Uppsala related w/ Serge Korjanevski, Michel Laporte

Trouble - unknown single from 1977

Yecta Plus Band (pre Flamen Dialis) same info everywhere "After releasing a 45 in England in 1971..." - anyone got it?
